| 131:7.3 " `Every time man yields to [[anxiety]], he takes one step away from the leading of the [[spirit]] of his [[heart]].' Pride obscures [[God]]. If you would obtain heavenly help, put away your [[pride]]; every hair of pride shuts off saving [[light]], as it were, by a great cloud. If you are not right on the [[Inner Life|inside]], it is useless to [[pray]] for that which is on the outside. `If I hear your [[prayers]], it is because you come before me with a clean [[heart]], [[free]] from falsehood and [[hypocrisy]], with a [[soul]] which [[reflects]] [[truth]] like a [[mirror]]. If you would gain [[immortality]], forsake the world and come to me.'
